vikingTON Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 1 hour ago, Craig the Hunter said: Count me in, would love to try it! Next one up for me tonight is one of Loch Lomon's tenth anniversary beers, an imperial sour brewed in collaboration with Alpha Delta. It's outstanding, best beer I've had from them, and their quality is generally very high. Presuming you're talking about LL then this does not match up with some of their supermarket production beers, which have been mediocre in my experience. Which beers would you recommend looking out for? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which beers would you recommend looking out for? Their supermarket stuff isn't their best, I'll give you that. Safesurfer was one of the best lagers I've had in a while, Oompah Lupulin was really good, and I've always been partial to Southern Summit. They're really local to me, so I may be a bit sentimental about them. But they do seem to have taken it up a notch for their anniversary. By far the best I've had from them and I'll be seeking out others from the series. Next up.is a NZ Pale from Freedom. Bang average.

Craig fae the Vale Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Overtone class 5.5% as a session IPA. Lower strength than their usual but no less flavour. Great as usual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 First one from my Chicago Beer52 box. Bit of a licorice flavour. Unusual but pretty nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Tryst Brewing Brockville pale now. To be followed with Tegernseer and Augustiner. Some god tier beers there. Bottled a load of Elderflower pale today too. Tastes decent straight from the fermentor so hopefully turn out a nice, easy drinking ale. Reckon I could give a couple away in exchange for honest review, so in the spirit of generosity and fraternity, the first 2 to say so on the thread can get one sent to them once they are fizzed up. Did anyone other than Craig The Hunter take you up on your generous offer? If not, I'd certainly be up for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 A sample of my blueberry mead at the second re-racking stage, sitting at about 6%. Had a lovely afternoon in the forest picking the fuckers and it's nice to turn them into something even tastier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Islay is best know for it's whisky, but apparently they do pretty good beers too.Excellent choice! Best sampled with lunch on the Calmac ferry on the way to Islay, because some traditions must be upheld. (Admittedly the time I got the 7:30am ferry across I was less bothered about tradition!)Their Big Strand lager is easily drinkable also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Four Pure Brewing's Bermondsey IPA. Think I picked it up in Asda. Nice enough but not much happening.Edit: On further drinking the citrus came through - quite nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Sierra Nevada's Hazy Little Thing IPA. Alright but the IPA's haven't been cutting it for me tonight. Elemental Porter from Tempest hit the spot though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Kersey Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I bought a European variety box from Beerhawk this week. 24 tins for £35 including delivery. First up is Steigl from Austria. This is very nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kersey Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Bitburger next. I've had this on draft when I was on holiday in Germany but I've never seen it over here before. It's a standard lager/Pilsner but to a very high standard. I'd say it's nicer than the likes of Beck's or Holstein Pils. I'm kinda surprised that you don't see it over here more often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
